From Goodreads.
Hailed as “impossible to put down,” the Hex Hall series has both critics and teens cheering. With a winning combination of romance, action, magic and humor, this third volume will leave readers enchanted.

Just as Sophie Mercer has come to accept her extraordinary magical powers as a demon, the Prodigium Council strips them away. Now Sophie is defenseless, alone, and at the mercy of her sworn enemies—the Brannicks, a family of warrior women who hunt down the Prodigium. Or at least that’s what Sophie thinks, until she makes a surprising discovery. The Brannicks know an epic war is coming, and they believe Sophie is the only one powerful enough to stop the world from ending. But without her magic, Sophie isn’t as confident.

Sophie’s bound for one hell of a ride—can she get her powers back before it’s too late?

This is another series that came to an end that I wish it hadn’t. I love Rachel Hawkins writing and I could have lived in Sophie’s world indefinitely! After the cliffhanger that ended Demonglass, with all of our mouths hanging wide open and us saying “WTH?” I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Spellbound no, I mean seriously I kinda stalked my mail box that day waiting for it to magically appear. Then when it did I sat down and started reading. I forgot about eating, I forgot about housework, I just had to read to see what happened to Sophie and Archer and all of her friends and family. Boy was it an amazing book!

I love that Rachel has written a series about witches, demons, vampires, and their hunters but has done it so that there is humor involved and trust me Spellbound like its predecessors Hex Hall and Demonglass has tons of laughs. It also has tons of swoon worthy moments between Sophie and Archer and some really sweet ones between her and Cal. Basically this story has everything romance, danger, mystery, friendship, and humor. It’s the perfect kind of story. The perfect ending!!!! I don’t want to say anything that spoils it so I’m not going to go into story details I just wanted you all to know how beautiful this was and to go get it now if you don’t have it already.

I didn't realize the series was ending with this book! That seems to keep happening with books I like, the third is the last one (and I don't know it!). I think people with good series need to start taking a page (no pun intended) from Rachel Caine's and Richelle Mead's book and write at least six!

I really liked this! I'm a huge fan of fairy tale retellings and most of the Peter Pan/Neverland ones I have read have been a huge disappointment. Not this one though! I thought Lisa wrote a beautiful story and I loved her take on Neverl...

Wow this book was really good! I'm going to forever call Revenge And The Wild "the kitchen sink book" because Michelle took everything she could think of including the kitchen sink and put it into this novel! This book was a historical, ...
